3 Contract Types

COMPLEXITY?

7 layers + 3 Contract Types = what?

And a high need for

education

Caveat: My Ideas.

Right? Wrong?

How I would do it…

and it has worked.

Either way, these should

be considered when

contracting.

The Key

Primavera Chains

Primavera Chains

The FFP Contract

AS OWNER

• How they earn is the keystone

• Control the actual work

accomplished

• Perhaps an end date is

important

• Perhaps a spend rate is

important

• No need to cost load, or

resource

AS VENDOR

• Must watch your costs to the penny

• Must ensure scope delivery

• End date is important

• Spend rate is important

• Must cost load and resource load

The FFP Contract

The FFP Contract

For example,

User Preferences, Time Units = day

Admin Preferences, Hours per Time Period = 8h/d

Activity calendar, Work hours per day = 10h/d

User-entered activity duration = 30h

Actual duration display = 3d6h (30h duration/8h per day, based on the

conversion factor set in Admin Preferences)

Expected duration display = 3d (30h duration/10h per day, based on the

conversion factor set in the activity calendar)
